Re: Lower Unit Removal Problems
Use a 163 degree temp stik to check.Run for at least 5 minutes on hose before testing and better still to bring temp stik along with you on first water test.<br /><br />Did the waterpump you changed out have 3 or 6 flutes on the impeller?Just curious ,as my 96' 70 was superceded from a 3 flute to a 6 flute impeller(as per service bulliten) and it also included changing to a different spring for the water relief on the T/stat assy.My engines changes also included doing away with the tell/tale restrictor and just using a grommet and the 3/8 hose for the tell/tale.I believe the reason for this cahnge was to accomodate the higher output of the superceded waterpump impeller.This change may not have effected your engines year model.Just wondering.
